About this property

Cabin w/ Game Room, Fire Pit & Private River Trail

Welcome to Timber Haven! This custom-built log cabin, nestled in the Blue Ridge Foothills, is located within the gated community of Riverbend in Lake Lure, NC. Our spacious 3,300 sq ft 3 story home allows plenty of room for our guests to spread out and enjoy laidback cabin living. Snuggle up by the gas fireplace in the 2-story great room, kick back under the stars by the fire pit, or take a hike on our 1/4 mile trail to a beautiful private spot on the Broad River!

Able to comfortably accommodate 8-10 guests, this cabin has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, along with a loft for additional sleeping space. The first-floor master bedroom features a king bed w/ memory foam Casper mattress, a walk-in closet and jacuzzi tub. Additionally, there is a second bedroom w/ two twin beds, a full bath and washer/dryer on this main level. Upstairs there are 2 additional bedrooms, one w/ a queen bed & office area and the other w/ a queen bed & a twin. Also on the second floor is a full bath and a sleeping loft w/ pull-out couch (converts to a full bed). Additionally, there is a Pack N’ Play and high chair for our littlest visitors.

The cabin has a well equipped kitchen and a deck that spans the full length of the house. You’ll find all that you need for serving up family favorites and grilling out.

The basement is outfitted for entertainment with a flat screen TV, Foosball table, and dart board, along with a half-bath. You'll also find boardgames, a hammock and corn hole. Large River Tubes and a Stand Up Paddle Board will provide endless entertainment on the water!

In addition to the cabin, we also own another 6.5 adjacent acres spanning from the mountain ridge down to the Broad River. Our guests are welcome to take the 1/4 mile trail starting in the back yard of the cabin and hike down to a lovely secluded spot on the river.

Within Riverbend guests have access to two lakes (Big Mirror Lake and Little Mirror Lake), a private beach w/ picnic areas, pavilion and barbecue pits. The Broad River runs directly through our little community and is perfect for fishing, hiking or kayaking. Enjoy the private waterfall or float in a tube to the 'Ole Swimming Hole'.

Looking to explore outside of Riverbend? Lake Lure Beach is just 10 minutes away, complete w/ water slides and a splash pad! The main marina offers boat rentals, daily tours and dinner cruises. River tubing, zip-lining, gem-mining, horseback riding, golfing and rock climbing are all within a short distance of the house. Hike Chimney Rock State Park for a breathtaking view or meander around the charming little town of Chimney Rock, only 10 minutes away. For any grocery needs, Ingles Market is located just minutes from the house. Hendersonville and Asheville are both an easy 45 minute drive.

The cabin is located off of a mountainous gravel road. Although it is only a short distance from the entrance gate and 4WD is not required, it could be helpful during inclement weather or if guests are not accustomed to driving in the mountains.

Great home in the mountains

It was a great home, well laid out and stocked. Loved the fire pit with seating around it. Access to the community lake was great and everyone enjoyed being on the paddle board and tubes. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The only thing we weren't prepared for was the 1/4 mile hike to the river. We're from Florida and forgot what "a hike" means :-)

Paradise!!

The cabin was so clean and the property was beautiful! The quarter mile hike to the river was delightful and peaceful. There was plenty of towels, blankets and the beds were comfy. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and a lot of board games to choose from. The cabin is close to everything, the grocery store was about 9 minute drive and an easy drive to chimney rock. Everyone enjoyed their time here. Thank you!

Completely satisfied!

I would give this 5 stars. The minute we walked in my husband said, "I want to live here!" It was a beautiful cozy home. This home is well stocked, the best that I have ever seen. Plenty of kitchen supplies, which in my book is the most important thing. Our family loved the fuse ball table and the darts, but most of all they loved the fire pit every night. Also, the fact that the community had their own private beach on big mirror lake was awesome. It was so beautiful and even I (age 71) even tried out the paddle board that was available with the house. The private trail that leads to the river was fun. A little challenge coming back up the hill but so worth the 1/4 mile walk to the beautiful Broad River. We didn't want to leave our little vacation but maybe someday will go back. I surely recommend this vacation home."

Great cabin for long weekend with family - lots to do!

My family had a great long weekend stay at the cabin. Everything is very well stocked, and labeled, so there’s no difficulty putting dishes away or finding which light switch you need. The cabin was very clean, and we had great communication with the owners - even got to meet them! There is plenty of space - all 8 of us could watch TV and eat together. We enjoyed playing foosball, but there were not enough darts for a real game. The hike to the river was a little steep on the way back up, but totally worth it. The river and the rocks and the chairs are just perfect. We took the paddleboard across the street to the lake on the other side of the neighborhood of Riverbend. The beach area is maintained, had shade, and a small pavilion (up the steps) to tables and restrooms. We had a great time taking turns paddle boarding. We would love to come back when the weather is cooler to enjoy the fire pit and a less sweaty trail hike to the river! The internet is good but the binder in the cabin had better info on local restaurants and activities, thank you for having that available!

Not Impressed

Cabin is beautiful in a scenic mountain area and It was very clean. We were missing 3 bath towels. One of the beds was missing sheets. There were no extras accessible. Wi-fi did not work. Limited cellular service. TVs in almost every room but none of them worked. Lights were burned out on the side porch, the basement and the kitchen. Hot tub only ran hot a few minutes, then was cold. The heat re-adjusted overnight and it was 62 in the house. Couldn’t re-adjust it overnight. Basement was freezing and couldn’t adjust the temperature as well. Too cold to be down there. They supplied shampoo but it was only 3 of the 1oz bottles. 3oz does not work for 10 people staying 4 days. Luckily we brought our own. Garbage was to be dropped off when we left but we didn’t have the key card. We had to jump the fence to throw it away. It’s not worth the money.

Todo estuvo impecable! La cabaña súper equipada y bien ubicada. Si vas a buscar tranquilidad y contacto con la naturaleza esta es la mejor opción. Hermoso entorno y todo muy cómodo. Nota para pescadores: La zona no es para amantes de la pesca, no pudimos pescar en ningún espejo de agua de la zona, o por ser propiedad privada o porque la ciudad lo prohíbe.

Woods Are Lovely, Dark and Deep

But those woods on Timber Haven’s private trail empty you out onto the gently flowing Broad River splashed with sunshine and dappled shade. A beautiful location with adirondack chairs and fish if you prefer a challenge. The trail has steep spots with rocks and a stream that does a crossover. Take your time and pause for rest on the return and reasonably good mobility will get you there and back. I know two 76 year olds who made it okay. Everything about the house is as the hosts describe so I won’t bore you with repetition. However, it is the perfect vacation mountain home with all the expected amenities and more. The home has been lived in by real people and we did not have to worry about our sometimes exuberant teens and an 8 year old. The location was ideal and was close to the entrance/exits in the private Riverbend community within Lake Lure. It is a quick drive to downtown Lake Lure and Chimney Rock with numerous restaurants, a great Engles grocery, and water water everywhere with a wide variety of outdoor activities. Or just sit on the porch and rock with your favorite beverage and someone with whom you enjoy talking, a great cure for anxiety.

Cabin is stocked, clean and spacious. Great communication by the hosts. Tucked away while being close enough to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock.
